"Bright and beautifully lifted, the bouquet shows green apple, apricot and lemon/lime zest aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate offering juicy fruit intensity, backed by crisp acidity, finishing vibrant and lingering" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2024
This wine is bursting with flavours of tropical fruit, pineapple, and fresh cut grass. The intense flavours of gooseberries and citrus fruits are noted on the palate, along with a bright, clean finish.
Along the dramatic coastline of New Zealand’s most southern part of Marlborough, is the small island of Rileys Lookout (Panau Island). It hides an abundance of New Zealand rock lobsters, which pairs beautifully with this crisp Sauvignon Blanc. As a family, we like to stop and enjoy lobster here, on the way to our vineyards in Marlborough.
Grapes for this wine were grown in vineyards situated in the heart of Marlborough’s Central Valley. An export certified spray program was adhered to. We operate under the Sustainable Winegrowing accreditation (SWNZ).
We harvested these grapes in March 2023. The grapes were harvested in batches determined by maturity of flavors. The vintage was clean.
Fermentation was temperature controlled in stainless steel tanks. The controlled fermentation is used to maximize primary fruit aroma and flavor. After completion of fermentation, parcels were selected to make the final blend.
